SUBMIT AN IDEA

Got an idea that you think we might like? You should realize that many ideas people believe to be new are often already in the public domain or are the same/similar to ideas already developed by our own staff. Because of this, any submission to Igloo requires strict adherence to the procedures and conditions listed below, including a completed Letter Of Understanding, before it can be considered.

1) Igloo will only consider review of product-idea submissions that are covered by an issued patent or pending patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

2) All such submissions must be accompanied by a signed and agreed to Letter Of Understanding.

You send your submission, along with proof of patent or patent pending and the completed Letter of Understanding, to the address below. If we’re interested, we will get back to you within 120 days.

Except as provided above, Igloo won’t accept any other unsolicited submissions, including but not limited to: advertising campaign proposals, product names or products ideas not covered by an issued patent or pending-patent application with the USPTO. Therefore, please do not send us any.

Important note: Any communication or material that you send to us via e-mail or any other means, for any reason, will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. Excluding unsolicited submissions that are in compliance with Igloo’s Submission Terms And Conditions, you agree that we are free to use any comments, ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to Igloo for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing, and the marketing of products. IF YOU SUBMIT WORK NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH IGLOO’S SUBMISSION TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY GRANTING IGLOO AN UNLIMITED, ROYALTY-, COMMISSION-, REIMBURSEMENT-FREE, UNRESTRICTED, NON-EXCLUSIVE, WORLDWIDE AND IRREVOCABLE RIGHT AND LICENSE TO USE, MODIFY, REPRODUCE, PUBLISH, TRANSLATE, DISTRIBUTE, DEVELOP, PERFORM, OR DISPLAY THESE SUBMISSIONS IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN ANY FORM, MEDIA, OR TECHNOLOGY, WHETHER CURRENTLY KNOWN OR TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE, FOR ANY PURPOSE INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SITE-, BUSINESS-, OR PRIVATE-USE DEVELOPMENT, AND ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES WITHOUT ANY COMPENSATION TO YOU.

Please know that this policy is simply meant to prevent future misunderstandings, legal or otherwise, as we work to create and develop ideas and other materials that might appear to be similar to ones you have submitted.
